1 2017-02-07 11:57:54 <fimp> achow101: you recently made me aware of the -limitancestorcount=<n> and -limitdescendantcount=<n> options. If we create a transaction with many unconfirmed ancestors, do you know if other nodes are likely to accept them and propogate them? Or will other Bitcoin Core nodes by default reject transactions with more than 25 ancestors?
 2 2017-02-07 11:58:47 <fimp> 25 *unconfirmed* ancestors, more precisely
 3 2017-02-07 12:01:56 <jouke> Out of experience, most nodes reject them.
 4 2017-02-07 12:03:29 <jouke> I was unable to succesfully create a cpfp transaction for such a long chain.
 5 2017-02-07 12:05:18 <jouke> I don't know if the relay network is still up and running, maybe you could push you transaction there.
 6 2017-02-07 12:23:28 <fimp> jouke: relay network is for relaying TXs too? I thought it was for relaying blocks
 7 2017-02-07 13:42:06 <achow101> fimp: default is to reject transaction chains of 25 txs or longer
 8 2017-02-07 13:51:47 <RxMcDonald> Hello, is this https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/build-osx.md for developing a bitcoin server or for mining or what? Anyone knows how to open the GUI with QT?
 9 2017-02-07 13:51:54 <RxMcDonald> after make
10 2017-02-07 13:52:36 <RxMcDonald> the instructions are not very clear to be honest
11 2017-02-07 13:53:25 <RxMcDonald> anyone:
12 2017-02-07 13:53:33 <RxMcDonald> is this chan ded?
13 2017-02-07 13:54:24 <Chris_Stewart_5> RxMcDonald: I never use qt, but isn't there a bitcoin-qt executable the directory along with bitcoin-cli and bitcoind
14 2017-02-07 13:55:32 <RxMcDonald> yea
15 2017-02-07 13:55:40 <Chris_Stewart_5> run it?
16 2017-02-07 13:55:55 <RxMcDonald> yea it's already running
17 2017-02-07 13:56:02 <RxMcDonald> maybe because it's downloading the blockchain
18 2017-02-07 13:56:15 <RxMcDonald> with bitcoind
19 2017-02-07 13:56:38 <RxMcDonald> ya it works, thanks
20 2017-02-07 13:57:40 <RxMcDonald> doesn't show any transactions, do I need to download the blockchain?
21 2017-02-07 13:59:04 <Chris_Stewart_5> Probably, and if this is a fresh bitcoind, do you have any keys in your wallet?
22 2017-02-07 13:59:23 <RxMcDonald> nope
23 2017-02-07 13:59:51 <RxMcDonald> can't find any download blockchain in the QT GUI
24 2017-02-07 14:00:06 <Chris_Stewart_5> bitcoind should be doing that
25 2017-02-07 14:01:03 <RxMcDonald> oh nvm it downloads in the background with bitcoind
26 2017-02-07 14:01:09 <RxMcDonald> so i just have to wait until it's done
27 2017-02-07 14:01:12 <RxMcDonald> I guess?
28 2017-02-07 14:01:54 <Chris_Stewart_5> Yep
29 2017-02-07 14:02:26 <RxMcDonald> mmh the log keeps saying "No route to host", this is going to take some time I guess
30 2017-02-07 14:05:41 <TZander> RxMcDonald: maybe you intended to join #bitcoin ?
31 2017-02-07 14:06:14 <TZander> either way, the full node software requires to download and validate the full chain. Which means it takes about 100GB and some hours before you can use it.
32 2017-02-07 14:07:32 <TZander> and since you mentioned mining, talk to a mining pool. www.viabtc.com for instance, they typically have forums and documentation.
33 2017-02-07 14:16:45 <RxMcDonald> TZander: No, I'm interested in developing bitcoin
34 2017-02-07 14:17:14 <RxMcDonald> TZander: I'm good with microsoft word and windows XP, can I get into virtual money?
35 2017-02-07 14:19:35 <RxMcDonald> I once solved a 10 x 10 crossword puzzle, that's gotta help
36 2017-02-07 14:27:28 <reBrain> RxMcDonald: nice nice
37 2017-02-07 14:27:32 <reBrain> RxMcDonald: keep it up
38 2017-02-07 14:28:24 <RxMcDonald> reBrain: I once replaced a computer keyboard
39 2017-02-07 14:28:36 <reBrain> RxMcDonald: damn
40 2017-02-07 14:29:31 <RxMcDonald> Yes I had to read the technical manual because it was USB mode
41 2017-02-07 14:29:54 <RxMcDonald> So it wasn't compatible with the current technology, I'm old school
42 2017-02-07 14:32:46 <RxMcDonald> You weren't even born yet and I was already running microsoft outlook
43 2017-02-07 15:03:08 <RxMcDonald> I think it downloaded all the transactions, I can see the latest transaction in the log corresponds with the hash I'm seeing at blockr.io, but I can't see any transactions on the QT GUI, is this normal?
44 2017-02-07 15:03:22 <RxMcDonald> Or it's just a wallet for your own transactions?
45 2017-02-07 15:18:06 <Chris_Stewart_5> RxMcDonald: An easy way to verify is if you run ./bitcoin-cli getblockcount
46 2017-02-07 15:18:19 <Chris_Stewart_5> and then see if it is close to what block explorer you are looking at
47 2017-02-07 15:35:04 <RxMcDonald> Chris_Stewart_5: error: couldn't connect to server
48 2017-02-07 15:36:24 <Chris_Stewart_5> hmm, do you have any authentication credential inside of ~/.bitcoin/bitcoin.conf?
49 2017-02-07 15:37:49 <RxMcDonald> nope
50 2017-02-07 15:39:35 <Chris_Stewart_5> I think you may need to add some, but not 100% certain on that
51 2017-02-07 15:39:56 <Chris_Stewart_5> google 'configuring bitcoin.conf' that will probably lead you in the right direction
52 2017-02-07 16:35:48 <RxMcDonald> alright fam, gotta take off
53 2017-02-07 16:35:57 <RxMcDonald> Chris_Stewart_5: gonna try it out later
54 2017-02-07 22:43:02 <RxMcDonald> hey, anyone has a guide on how to develop with QT editor? The docs in the readme are incomplete I think
55 2017-02-07 22:54:05 <luke-jr> RxMcDonald: I'm not clear what you're asking. Just do it?
